Best Rooftop Bars In Lima, Peru

*Esta publicación también está disponible en: Español

There’s been a number of rooftop bars opening in Lima over the past few years and the fact that it doesn’t rain in the Peruvian capital means you can enjoy them year-round. I spent the week exploring & drinking at every rooftop bar I could find (my job is just so difficult) and narrowed my list down to the best spots available.

So whether you’re here during the hot & sunny summer or chilly & grey winter, here are the best rooftop bars in Lima, Peru.

Insumo at AC Hotel

The Insumo rooftop & restaurant at AC Hotel ended up being my favorite rooftop bar in Lima. The staff was unbelievably friendly, the cocktails were creative, and the best part is the ocean view. The hotel is located right on the waterfront so being able to get a view of Lima like this is rare and it was entertaining to watch people parasailing literally feet away from you. The rooftop is open from 4 pm – 11 pm Monday – Saturday and 12 pm – 5 pm on Sunday. I do suggest trying to get there around 4 pm to take advantage of the ocean views before it gets dark at 6 pm.

Address: Miraflores, Malecón de la Reserva 729, 18th Floor

Pullman Lima Miraflores

The Pullman Hotel in Miraflores has one of the most stylish rooftops right now. The 16th floor of the hotel is where you’ll find the Ambra Rooftop Bar, open Monday to Saturday from 4 pm to 1 am. Here you can enjoy a cocktail, snag some pics, and watch the sun go down over the pacific coast.

Address: Miraflores, C. Juan Fanning 515 – 525

Hotel B

Hotel B is known as being one of the most fashionable hotels in Lima so it’s no surprise that its rooftop bar is a place to be seen. You can visit in the early hours to enjoy their brunch package from 9 am – 1 pm, watch the sunset over the Pacific ocean with one of their craft cocktails, or enjoy lite bites into the evening.

Address: Barranco, Jirón Sáenz Peña 204

Casa Republica

The rooftop at Casa Republica is tucked away in the trendy Barranco neighborhood. Here you can enjoy food a la carte from their restaurant or pisco sour during sunset. The rooftop is open daily from 3 pm – 11 pm.

Attalea Hotel

Attalea Hotel features a super Instagramable rooftop with boho chic decor that’s perfect for hanging out with friends. It can only be used by small group reservations or hotel guests. You must send a message first to reservas@attaleahotel.com.

Elephant rooftop

If you’re looking for a rooftop with a party atmosphere, Elephant Rooftop is the place to go. They open at 6 pm where you can enjoy finger food and drinks and then turns into a reggaeton party in the evening.

Address: Miraflores, C. de las Pizzas 244

Celeste Solar Bar

Celeste Solar Bar is at the Hyatt in San Isidro. I didn’t get much of a chance to check the place out because they were setting up for a private event but apparently this is a hotspot on the weekends. There isn’t much of a city view but the outdoor space is modern and open with plenty of lounge seating as well as a rooftop pool.

Address: San Isidro, Av. Jorge Basadre 367

Overground at the new Innside by Melia Hotel has a rooftop pool and small terrace where you can pass an evening sipping on cocktails in Miraflores. The rooftop is open from 3 pm – 11: 30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and 5 pm – 1:30 am on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and closed on Sundays.

Estelar Miraflores Hotel

The restaurant & bar located on the 21st floor of Estelar Miraflores Hotel offers some of the most breathtaking views of the city and ocean that you will find in Lima. The decor is a bit outdated, but trust me, the view makes up for it. Be sure to get there by 6 pm and you can enjoy the sunset as well as a 2×1 happy hour from 6 pm – 8 pm.
